I'm not sure that it works, in fact .. it never has worked before on my Dell Inspiron 8600c with ATI. If anyone knows how to get this working, please send me a private message to make me very happy

has anyone with a radeon card tried it and was able to use the vesa-tng?

Seppe has a ati but i dont know It says that it is still broken so i think it is so _________________Gentoo 2005.0

baaa vesafb-tng is broken.... anyway, i compiled it with Radeonfb and added:
video=radeonfb:ypan,1280x1024-32@60
to grub.conf....and it works fine, i even got it to run @75herz - something that didn't work with vesafb-tng in love-sources....

*waits patientily for the first nitro since 2.6.8 to work right for his pc*

Same here. 2.6.8.1-nitro6 is the best one that works.
The 2.6.9-rc* even kill my laptop when I use the volume buttons on the front of my Armada E500, it just hardlocks then and I need to hard-reset it.
Back to 2.6.8.1-r6 for me, and I think im staying there for a while

I was having all sorts of problems with the previous 2.6.9 nitros as well, but rc3-nitro2 is rock solid so far, as well as noticeably more responsive than 2.6.8.1-nitro5. I'm not trying this one until more people report back, though, as per usual.

seppe - would it be possible to have some sort of changelog in the post about (a) the major changes since the last nitro, and (b) the major changes in the kernel revision itself? It'd be nice to know what to expect without having to read lkml ._________________Work is punishment for failing to procrastinate effectively.

Illissius: are you using reiser4 by any chance? Any lockups under high load (like emerge sync and compiling a new kernel)?

Yup, reiser4 here. I'm getting hard locks with this latest nitro when under high load (climateprediction.net). Occasionally the desktop will become extremely sluggish, stuttering mouse movements etc until I drop it out from full load.

Haven't tested it yet, but I hacked in an alsa update patch (apply on top of nitro) which updates the kernel drivers to the latest (unstable) version. Test at your own risk, but I usually find the snapshots to be quite stable. Also, you'll need to have CONFIG_KMOD set in order to compile it without unknown symbol crap.

Works like a charm here after 6 hours will try to make some stressing and compiling some stuff and so on!! _________________Gentoo 2005.0

Wow. Through all the updates nitro has gone through, I found out I had over 6 nitro-sources installed. After I 'emerge -C' all but 2.6.8.1-nitro6 (my stable) I'm installing this one._________________jabber: MighMoS@jabber.org
